    x86/amd: Work around CLFLUSH ordering on older parts
    
    On pre-CLFLUSHOPT AMD CPUs, CLFLUSH is weakely ordered with everything,
    including reads and writes to the address, and LFENCE/SFENCE instructions.
    
    This creates a multitude of problematic corner cases, laid out in the 
manual.
    Arrange to use MFENCE on both sides of the CLFLUSH to force proper ordering.
    
    This is part of XSA-402.
